I presided over forty-nine meetings of the LUG, because with the exception of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years, we met every Thursday. I wonder, what did I, or the other members, really gain from those meetings? There were only a handful of presentations. One was on a development project, peless, started one of our members, Paul Elliot. The discussion of the project itself was interesting, but so were the details of making it a full-fledged open source project with a homepage, version control, and input from other programmers. There was one meeting when a question about php4 kicked off over an hour's worth of details from our past President. Much of that time was devoted to the differences of php4 from php3 in the context of website use. This young man is so knowledgeable on so many facets of Linux that I often feel overwhelmed by the recognition of how little I know after six years of full-time use. Another of our members, now our President, made two presentations during the past year. One on the mathematics involved in cryptography. Most of the members were somewhat familiar with the use of encryption tools, but his explanation helped all of us to understand more clearly how and why increasing the bit depth dramatically increases the protection it affords......... **************** ***************************** Kiggundu Mukasa # Computer Network Consultancy### KYM-NET LTD. # Intranets & Internet Solutions# Plot 80 Kanjokya Street P.O.
